If someone makes an absolutely awful joke, or says something completely random or pointless. One member of the group
may "zing" them.
This works best if done during the awkward silence after the joke/comment.
The
zinger may also point with an open palm, fingers first at the joke/comment maker while zinging them for effect.
George: Hey guess what guys...last
night we were having dinner right, and my mother, the
silly oaf,
burnt my pizza!!........(expecting laughter from the group)
Andy: (waitin a few seconds for the awkward silence to take hold].......ZING!!!!! (while pointing wih open palm)
Rest of Group: (laughter and general abuse directed at joke maker)
